I feel for you, Animal. Death is never easy, and death that could have been avoided... Pah.

Out here, a trial is under way for a 20-year-old girl, a nanny for a local family, who was driving and talking on her cell phone in the family's hummer. She ran a red light, creamed a suburban, and killed a 12-year-old boy. She's up for at least manslaughter, if not higher.

I remember when I was young, driving around. I was amazed at how many things I saw on the road. Now, a few years later, I'm amazed at how many things I miss. Like today: pulled out of the neighborhood, and as I looked in my rear-view mirror, there was a car RIGHT THERE. I must have cut him off pulling out... but I didn't see him.

Now, am I not seeing things like I used to, or am I noticing more of what I missed than I used to? I just don't know... but I'm going to give a second look at that corner from now on.

Peace. I light a candle for you.
